Minor Description
The AsyncHttpClient Project is a library that can be used for doing asynchronous http request. The library supports a provider based API which allow pluggable http client under the hood. Currently the library ship with a Netty and a JDK based provider, but next version (1.4.0) will ship with an Apache Http Client provider as well. Right now the default is Netty because it is the fastest one.
We would like to donate to the Wink project a new Wink-Client implementation based on this library:

The client has been build on top of 1.1.1-incubating released version.
